Children Logos

The spiritual formation and education of our children are of highest importance. We are a church with many young families and offer programs that support family values and nurture our children. Following are some of our programs. If you feel called to assist with some of these programs, please contact our Children's Ministry Director. Our volunteers go through Child Protection Policy training and are background checked for the safety of your children.

CHILDREN WORSHIP AND WONDER - SUNDAYS DURING 11:00 WORSHIP

Children Worship and Wonder is a children's church program based on the Montessori style of teaching and learning. Children age 3 through kindergarten are invited to Children Worship and Wonder to worship with age appropriate stories and activities.

Children Worship and Wonder is held during the 11:00 am worship service. Children begin the worship service with their families in the sanctuary, and then after "A Moment with Our Children" those age 3-kindergarten are dismissed for Children Worship and Wonder. A leader will meet the children outside the sanctuary and lead them to Classroom #4 in the Christian Education wing for Children Worship and Wonder.

Parents should pick up their children in Classroom #4 as soon as the worship service is over.

CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL - SUNDAYS 9:50-10:50 AM

Children age two and younger are welcome in the Nursery

All children's Sunday School begins at 9:50 am. For those families attending the 9:30 am worship service, the children will be dismissed from the service at around 9:50 am for Sunday School. The children will meet their Sunday School teacher or travel guide outside the sanctuary, who will lead them to their class.

Preschool Sunday School - ages 3-5 are in Room #3 in the CE wing.

Rotation Sunday School - Kdg-4th grade

Children in kindergarten through 4th grade participate in Rotation Sunday School. The children are divided into classes by age, and each week the classes “rotate” or "travel” with their Travel Guides to a different workshop to experience the Bible story in a different learning environment.

Please see this Sunday's bulletin for the locations of the rotation Sunday School classes.

KFC (Kids For Christ) - 5th & 6th grade

The 5th and 6th grade children are together in a group called KFC (Kids For Christ). KFC meets for Sunday School in the Chapel classroom.

Sunday School FAQ

Where will my child be for Sunday School?The monthly rotation schedule can be found on the bulletin board in the CE wing. The schedule and room assignments for all ages and classes are also printed in the worship bulletin each week.

When does Sunday School end? Where do I pick up my child?All children's Sunday School classes end at 10:50 am.Preschool parents should pick up their children in their classroom (Room #3) at 10:50 am.Rotation Sunday School kids (K-4th grade) will be brought up to Holy Grounds Cafe to meet their parents at 10:50 am.KFC (5th & 6th grade) will be dismissed from their class at 10:50 am to meet their parents.

What’s the difference between a travel guide and a workshop teacher?Each class in Rotation Sunday School is assigned two Travel Guides, two adults who alternate “traveling” with that class to a different workshop each week. The Travel Guides do not prepare or teach the lessons, but develop relationships with the children in their class.

Workshop teachers teach in one workshop for the duration of each Bible story, which usually lasts one month. They teach the same lesson each week to a different class, adapting the lesson as necessary for the different age groups.

This sounds like fun! Can I help?Absolutely! Our Sunday School program can always use volunteers in all the classes. It takes many people to make our program successful. If you would like more information, contact our Children’s Ministry Director, Julie Bodenheimer at jbodenheimer@pineridge.org for more information. All volunteers must comply with our Child Protection Policy.
